An Encore For The Opus Design Winners

The winners of the Opus Design Award were announced recently and the entries might help solve a lot of our little nagging problems with eyewear. The gold prize went to Nick Jinkinson who designed around transition lenses that more completely transitioned in the sun. Runners up include foldout frames, built in lens cleaner, and what can only appear to be the Opti-Grab from the 1979 comedy The Jerk. Let’s hope none of them cause wearers to become permanently and irreversibly cross-eyed.
